LOWS MOrrlb0n ana comp my
at tho Grand.
There was very fair and appreciative
audience at the Grand last night to wit
ness "Faust and Marguerite" by Lewis
Morrison. Celia Alsberg, and the rest of
the combination. The setting of the
piece is something superb. The scenery
is all the property of the company. and
takes two cars to carry i. around the
country. The people are enraptured
with this artistic soeneryby VIM. voegilin.
The duel scene where valentine" is
killed, while "Mephisto" causes sword
to fash fire is very fine. The Bracken
scene with its crags, woods, storms,
elves, gnemes, devils and tortures is
grand. Brady is q good "Valentine. !"
He needs little more study and finish,
but he acts with good deal of energy
and fitness. The leading roles were
quite well interpreted by Mr.. Morri-
son and Miss Alsberg. The play holds
the boards again to night.

FARM GRIND-sToNEs.
Directions for Hanging Them in Proper
and Satisfactory Manner.


Get a shaft made with a square por-
ton, in proportion to the thickness of
the stone you intend to use. If the
stone is four inches this square should
be nearly eight inches long. Next you
want four plates about as long as this
square. They may be made of old
wagon tire if it is pretty thick You
also want set-screw, put through
each end of the four plates, near the
ends; these screws to have square
heads to turn with a wrench. The
screws must be cut rather loose. A
person looking on when was cutting
mine told me | was cutting them too
loose. Ireplied that l thought knew
my own business, and that these screws
were to stay in a place where they were
very liable to rust, and if cut tight they
would soon be immovable. They have
now been used about eleven years, and
are not rusted fast, but turn easily yet
Put the plates through the eye of the
stone, one on each side of the shaft,
and next the side of the eye, turn in
the set-screws by guess till you get
them pretty nearly right, then by
tightening some and loosening others,
you can get the stone to run very true,
if it is made true. The eyes of the
turned stones are often badly made.
suppose have cut hundreds of better
eyes than ever saw in stone that
was turned. If you take bit of leather
and put on the shaft for the end of
each screw to bind on. it is an advant-
age. My stone has never needed alter.
ing or Tightening since first hung. /
have a collar made on the round part
of the shaft This keeps it from end
wise movement. Run it on pieces Of
bone, as the friction wheels are a nui.

REFORM IN JAPAN.
American ideas Gaining Strong Foot.
hold in That Country.


Americans have general knowledge
that there have lately been great re-
forms in Japan. Int it is not so well
known that the lives of the present
and late Mi&ado together form one of
the most startling chapters in modern
history. Only thirty-seven years ago
Japan was not really an empire; it
could hardly be said to have central
government. The ancient political
system had completely broken down
and nothing else had taken its place.
Az Toxic the Tycoon held his court,
but his power was weak and local; AT
Kizoto the Mikado had even less power.
There was political chaos BY the OPP
Grafton of the old feudal system the
.Daimios, or local mobiles, had attained
practical independence, each ruling
his own territory despoticallY-in short,
Japan was u loose and almost lawless
confcdeyacy. This is no place to de-
scribe the series of mastery measures
by which the Mikado destroyed the
local sovereignties; suffice it that it
was thoroughly done, the Daimios
were thoroughly disarmed, and
the revived empire of Japan
entered on an extraordinary era of
progress. English and American ideas
were rapidly adopted. Even the Eu-
ropean dress was introduced, though
travellers with an eye to artistic effect
think the japanese ladies have lost more
than they gained by the reform. y
A serious attempt was even made ia
introduce the English language, by
reason Of its greater convenience in
writing; but the learned men soon de-
cided that the irregularities of English
spelling and grammar more than offset
the other advantage. Japan is already
known 10 us almost as well as the
countries of Europe, and their appre-
citation of Americans grows with ac-
1uaintance. They hOnOred General
Grant as they had never done any for.
.eigner. and on that occasion the MikadC
for the first time appeared in public

ALFALFA OR LUCERN.
The Plain Truth About the Much Talked
of Forage Plant.

There is considerable interest Just
now existing in regard to the forage
plant commonly known as alfalfa.
This is the Spanish name of lucern, a
plant of the leguminous tribe closely
resembling clover, and commonly cul-
tivated in Europe for green fodder. 1t
differs from clover, however, in having
more woody stalks, slenderer leaves, a
purplish flower, and legume or pod,
which is coiled spirally and contains
several seeds. 1t is Il native of Spain,
and thriveS best in hot, somewhat dry
climates, and produces enormously
when irrigated. In the northern ltal-
ian provinces it is commonly grown in
this way, and is cut several times in a
season, producing in the aggregate
sixty to eighty inches of heritage in the
growing season. 1t is perennial, and
when kept free from weeds and ma
nured occasionally it continues to yield
abundantly for twenty years, never
being permitted to seed, however.
1t is not a good hay plant unless it
is cut quite young and cured with lit
tie exposure to the sun, but as a green
fodder plant it is uneXcelled. As COM
pared with clover it is sixteen per cent.
richer in albuminoids, thirty-three per
cent. richer in fat, and eight or nine
per cent. poorer in carbohydrates, and
has twenty per cent. more woody fibre,
to which it owes its inferiority as a
hay plant 1t is an excellent food when
cut green for all farm animals, for
which use it is extensively cultivated
in California. and might be made very
valuable in the Southern States.
AS it has been made subject fol
much discussion recently in the leading
agricultural journals, and has been fire.
quently written of with more favor, We
think, than it deserves, it is perhaps
desirable to mention its disadvantages
as compared with the only crop will
which it comes into competition, a

experience with it, having grown
more than twenty years ago as forag
crop and abandoned its culture as les

BOILED IcE-CREAM.
Some of tho Chinese Summer DsIicacisS
Coveted by the Gotham Heathsn.

Some OF tho Chinese Summer DslIeaciss
Coveted by the Gotham Heathsn.
One OF the attractions OF Mott street
on Il summer Sunday are the several
Chinese watermelon stands. II one
wishes to enjoy genuine Oriental
market sight, with stands and booths
of nearly every description, crowded
with Chinese patrons, he should pass
through Mott street on Sunday after
noon, say about five o'clock. The way
the heathens get away with Christian
watermelon is significant. Without
exaggeration on a single Sunday after
noon between the hours of four and
eight p. M, at least two tons, or four
thousand pounds, of watermelons are
devoured by the throat-parched opium
smokers. There are seven Cinnamon
who keep watermelon stands and each
takes in from twenty to fifty dollars
per Sunday. They retail their melons
at five cents slice to their fellow coun-
trymen. As many as forty Cinnamon
are often seen surrounding one stand
munching at huge chunks of well
ripened Western pumpkins" as the
Chinese call them.
Then there are the Chinese peanut
stands, that also do big business at
any time of the year. This is because
the Chinese cook their peanuts in salt
water. They are boiled until they be-
come mellow. Even the Chinese
roasted peanuts are much superior to
those produced by the sons of
sunny Italy, because the nuts
are soaked in salt for thirty-six
hours before they are put through the
rooster. The watermelon seeds are
similarly treated, and they serve among
the Mongolians of Gotham as a very
dainty dish at their great dinners, as,
instead of smoking cigars, the Chinese
guests sit down and crack watermelon
seeds.
The sugar-cane stands also do rush
ing business, as do the Chinese Leon
fun" or ice-cream stands. The Chinese
ice-cream is somewhat different from
any other kind of ice-cream. In the
first place it has no ice in it, and in the
second place there is no cream; but il
is called Leon fun or ''cold'' cream oil
Jelly, and it is really the only thing that
answers to ice-cream among the four
hundred million of heathens in China.
The Chinese are so fond of it that even
the real article here has failed to super.
sede it. This Leon fun is made of a
species of light stuff, very much like
American blanc mango. 1t is boiled
very thin with brown sugar and set in
cold water until it congeals and then
cut up in dice-shaped small squares
A few spoonfuls of this is put into q
bowl, a kind of thin, cool sweetened
sauce is poured over it, and the whole
of this peculiar mixture is sold for q
Christian nickel. The Mott street fan
tan players call it boiled ice-cream.-
